Q: Hello. I usually have a lot of trouble sleeping and I've had nightmares before, but last night I had a really awful nightmare. I'm not sure of all of it, but I remember this really distorted face and I'm guessing it was a woman in the corner of my room and she kept coming closer and closer and her mouth was opening and I was terrified. It took me a moment to realize I was half awake and screaming. It was even worse that I was home alone, so I ran out of my room and to my kitchen where the light was.
I'm wondering if it's the medication I took, "hydroxyzine", that my doctor prescribed to help me sleep, but my mother's taken it before and said she never had nightmares and I can't find anything in the side effects. And while I only plan to take this once a week, I'm almost scared to go to sleep tonight because of how severe the nightmare was. I'm also prone to continuing dreams or repeating dreams, usually within that same week, so I'm not sure what to do. I really do not want this nightmare to come back because I've never been so scared in my life. I was in tears because it was so scary and I couldn't get back to sleep after I woke up. I want to know if there's a way to keep this dream away or if it has anything to do with my medication. If it's the medication, is there anything else I can do to help my insomnia aside from using prescriptions?

Well,to start with, I'd like to know your age. You're probably too young to take sleeping pills. Maybe, this causes this disorder into your brain. I wish I had the accurate medical knowledge so I could help you more appropiately. But I'm pretty sure this is something caused by those pills. Remember that all brain medicaton drugs are supposed to be prescribed by your doctor before you take them. Good luck! And calm down! It'll be fine!

I'm eighteen and have only taken this pill once and my doctor is the one that prescribed it to me, but I still think it has to do with the pill since I finally managed to get to sleep and nothing happened. Thank you very much for the advice, though!

Don't follow any advice,no matter how good,until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise...Take it easy...but take it!! My aim here is to give good advice,not gentle words,but what I think is best for you to do;)
